Armadillos Ladner Fires No-Hitter: Is it better to be lucky or good?
After leading the Amarillo Armadillos to victory, 2-0, and tossing a no-hitter over the Seattle Airhogs, Chris Ladner didn't have the answer.
"I don't know," Ladner said. "To do what I did today, I'm pretty sure it takes both."
On his big day at Amarillo Grounds, Ladner fanned 11 and had 1 walk. And it seemed that when the Airhogs managed to hit the ball hard, it went right at a defender.
"That's how you get a no-hitter," Ladner said with a smile. "A lot of skill mixed with a little luck."
Thus far this season, Ladner has worked 91.1 innings with 112 strikeouts en route to a 8-4 record and a 2.27 ERA.
